Hi everyone

It's about time to revive this thread again Smile First short review of the problem to refresh your memory without reading full thread Wink

Since we started publishing deb (and other) packages, there is an unresolved problem. The sources are installed into /usr/share/upp and theide copies them into user home directory on the first invocation. If you update the package later, theide just ignores it. There was some discussion about this above and I tried to implement it, but the code wasn't smooth enough and there was number of bugs. See above for more details.

But that was few months ago and since then, I was polishing the code and taking the bugs out one by one. I have been using the modified ide for quite a long time in various configurations and I think it is ready now. The main ideas are: nicer first-run installer, automated update checks in background (every 15 minutes), simple source management in case of local copy.

I won't go into details here, it would be boring and pointless. I rather post part of the documentation, since it has screenshot and as you probably know "one picture equals to thousand words" Wink So see the attached PDF. I will of course also publish sources, see the next post.

Best regards,
Honza
